Discovery of Early Tonian Calc-alkaline and Shoshonitic Metamafic Rocks from the North Purulia Shear Zone,Chhotanagpur Gneissic Complex,Eastern India:Implications of Proterozoic Sub-continental Lithospheric Mantle

Reports of shoshonitic rocks in Precambrian terrains are relatively rare.Pl-Grt amphibolites and Hbl-Bt mafic granulites occurring in the migmatitic gneisses of the Chhotanagpur Gneissic Complex(CGC)show calc-alkaline and shoshonitic characteristics.Relict porphyritic,sub-ophitic and poikilitic textures are noted in these rocks.Their parent magma was emplaced during the waning phase of the regional metamorphism.Geochemically,these metamafics are similar to the GroupⅢpotassic and ultrapotassic rocks of Foley et al.(1987).The magma was derived from the metasomatized subcontinental lithospheric mantle(SCLM).Subduction-related sediment melts metasomatized the SCLM.Compositionally,the SCLM is a metasomatized phlogopite-amphibole-spinel-bearing harzburgite.1%–5%batch melting of the SCLM could produce the parental magma of the mafic granulites.Pressures and temperatures of metamorphic equilibration were carried out by pseudosection modeling.Peak metamorphic assemblage(M_(1):Grt-Cpx-Pl-Qz)in garnetiferous amphibolite equilibrated at 740℃and 8.7 kbar.The Cpx-Pl corona appeared around the garnet during decompression(M_(2):655℃,6 kbar).The Hbl-Pl symplectites around garnet formed during isobaric cooling(M_(3):580℃and 5.9 kbar).The emplacement of shoshonitic magma and subsequent decompression happened at the slab break-off stage of continental collision(~990 Ma).

Effects of threshold based relay selection algorithms on the performance of an IEEE 802.16j mobile multi-hop relay （MMR） WiMAX network

IEEE 802.16j MMR WiMAX network introduces multi-hop relay architecture, which involves cooperative relay stations focusing on increasing the network throughput and coverage. Relay selection algorithms can be used to choose the optimal relay, which help in reducing the computational complexity during the signal processing operation of the wireless network. In this research work, a conventional Amplify-Forward （AF）/Decode-Forward （DF） assisted multi-relay IEEE 802.16j WiMAX network is considered. The effects of relay selection algorithms on the performance metrics such as Symbol Error Rate （SER） and channel capacity are investigated in detail through simulation-based study. Further, the performance of this network utilizing the proposed relay selection algo- rithms, namely threshold based max_rain and threshold based harmonic mean of SNR, are compared with the existing max_rain and harmonic mean of SNR based algorithms. Standard diversity combining techniques such as Maximal Ratio Combining （MRC） and Selection Combining （SC） are used for combining the transmitted signal at the receiver. In addition, the impact of relay locations on the performance metrics are explored. It is observed that both the proposed threshold based max_min and threshold based harmonic mean of SNR based relay selection algorithms outperform the max_rain and harmonic mean of SNR based algorithms, as both the SER and channel capacity for the considered multi-relay WiMAX network is improved significantly. Further, this extensive study and analysis will be beneficial for the design of MMR WiMAX networks.
